I get 'Xiphophorus libVorbis I 20010813' tag when streaming it, so that
would indeed be RC2.

Minor nitpick: ABR isn't a VBR mode but an enhanced CBR mode. LAME uses
a different (likely better) encoding setup when doing VBR compared to ABR.

That's why it is so interesting :)

I doubt it. The only way to get 360kbps MP3 would be a freeformat CBR
bitstream, which most tools can't handle.

Note that Vorbis 350kbps bitstreams are actually usually a fair bit lower
in actual bitrate.

Using a frequency analyzer to judge perceptual codecs is tricky.

Very well. Thanks!
